locking wheel nut

after getting a bargain price for some Audi alloys to replace the 5 spoke ones on my motor now. got 2 off and replaced with new ones, came to the 3rd and I couldn't get the locking wheel nut to budge (not even 1mm). tried it on the next wheel and heard a little crack and to my amazement I've managed to crack the outer rim of the locking wheel nut. so I'm now left with the star like pattern in the center. I have tried locking wheel nut removers and stud extractor to no avail as I can't seem to get any purchase on the actual locking wheel nut. Does anyone have any idea's on how I could remove these?

got those ordered off ebay last week and they were too big to fit in the recess for the wheel nut on the alloy so grounded down only to find the 20mm is about 1mm too big. and no one seem to stock 19mm ones.

can you get hold of a copper drift and give it a few twats with an hammer than a multispline socket to abuse on the stud... once gad to cut off a wheel on a mk3 golf gti scott looked as pretty as yours

A4 TDI 130 SPORT..
now sold but still in the family, gone back in time to the cupra R again..

Why don't you drill off the remaining nut, just as far as the wheel with a drill a bit bigger than the diameter of the thread. If you use a nice sharp drill and go nice and slow with some cutting oil it will soon come out.
